Yes and idk why neither & it started after her 15m checkup, go figure.,.

Yes mine does it also. I tell her gentle hands and it sometimes helps.

My son does the same, and I try to distract him by giving him one of his toys or making him laugh. I understand cause I don't want my son to hurt himself like that

My daughter does the exact same thing!

My son did this. I’ve heard it’s very common and he stopped doing it on his own. I think he hit it too hard and realized that it hurt. I tried to stop him when I could but sometimes I couldn’t. I think it sounds bad to just let them and they’ll figure it out but if you always stop them then they won’t realize.

Mine started this about 2 weeks ago. I hate it. I hope this stage passes soon.

Think it’s the only thing in their control, maybe have her help you with a task to feel important, and validated

This video helped me a lot.. she talked about head banging https://youtu.be/n1uLIfjPg34?si=hp_hfWditi686yWC
